My second Mosin sniper. Got her from Aim a couple weeks ago. There's what I would consider heavy, sloppy shellac all over her. Is it okay to clean that off the metal parts (considering collector's value), or is it best to leave it?
How come this one does not have the Russian 'year' mark after the date? Does that signify anything.
So, how numbers matching is this girl? I see 'TP613' on the receiver, bolt, butt plate, floor plate and the scope mount. And I see '04459' on the receiver, scope mount and scope. Am I right to be excited about the receiver and scope having the same original numbers? Or are they not original? I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
